PY - 2012 T2 - Anesthesiology, 2e AB - Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is an essential component of anesthesia care for modern cardiac and thoracic aortic surgery.A complete diagnostic examination should include the standard set of views (at a minimum) suggested by guidelines from the American Society of Echocardiography and the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists.Intraoperative evaluation of acute persistent and life-threatening hemodynamic disturbances in which ventricular function is uncertain and unresponsive to treatment is a Category I indication for TEE.Real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography represents a breakthrough technology that fundamentally transforms intraoperative imaging.
